borders gift cards that could be purchased through a portal with borders gift cards. even better when they earned borders bucks. i will never forget the day a cashier looked up my account and told her colleague, "whoa! over $100 in borders bucks. i didn't even think you could get that many!"

Visa Buxx... used to fund them online, withdraw from a 99 cent fee ATM. I was combining that with the Target Redbird/CVS VR and Amex for Target. Those were "good old days" for me since I missed the Mint rush.

I don't see any mention of the Bing Cashback on eBay. Microsoft paid up to 35% cashback on eBay purchases you searched out using their search engine. It didn't take long for people to figure out how to buy and sell gold on eBay with Microsoft subsidizing each transaction. Unfortunately for me, I was too naive about what eBay and PayPal would allow and ended up losing both accounts by sailing too close to the wind. If I'd known it was going to persist for over a year, I would have played it safe and I may still have very well seasoned eBay and PayPal accounts.
Or is it flying too close to the sun?

Was introduced to Serve by Isis Wallet (that tap to pay consortium of ATT, Verizon, and T-Mobile when they together blocked the SIM card secure element from Google so lagdroid phones couldn't use Google Wallet), got started with VGCs at Kates, and never stopped since...
